Re: My Speed , My path on the lake!

Yes i am stuck on the lake trying to find a way out! hahah i don't really believe any of the GPS data sometimes i wonder of my speed because it seems i am going much faster at times! to cross the lake it take me maybe 5 minutes going this fast, not long at all! i try to hit every inch of the lake! look at this one

Perhaps we should be more concerned that he seems to be stuck in the middle of the lake

Now you are just jealous.

Re: My Speed , My path on the lake!

I've noticed the same sort of elevation gain when tracking myself on a similar app. I always figured that it was just wrong about the elevations, but I wonder if it could also be an error in the way locations are sampled.

Re: My Speed , My path on the lake!

Whats with the elevation gain? Is that the GPS being dithered or is it the accuracy of the recording device/software?

Looks like Highway 422 needs a draw bridge for you.

Re: My Speed , My path on the lake!

Looking at the elevation gain you must have been sailing uphill a lot of the time, that would explain it

Re: My Speed , My path on the lake!

Anyone can go "sideways" pretty fast...

How long did it take you to cross the lake..? 2 hrs +..?

To go 8 Miles..? 4 MPH not 4 Min/Mi...
